<11:07> In the morning session, government bond futures fell, with the long-term interest rate at 0.93%, affected by the high halt in U.S. interest rates.
The center-month December government bond futures closed the morning trading session down 9 sen from the previous business day at 144 yen 17 sen. In the absence of material factors, the high halt in U.S. interest rates weighed on the market. The yield on the newly issued 10-year government bonds (long-term interest rates) rose by 1.0 basis points to 0.930%.
Today's government bond futures started with a somewhat sell-dominant tone, influenced by the overnight trading of yen-denominated bond futures, which saw a slight decline due to the halt at around 4.0% in the long-term bond yields (long-term interest rates) in the U.S. market the day before. There are no supply and demand events such as government bond auctions or operations and no important economic indicators scheduled during the day, lacking new trading cues.
